Do you find Facebook terrifying?

[Remission]

To me this thing is direct from Satan ... i've been using the internet since 1998 but I have no desire to join Facebook.  It makes me shiver!  Just look at how willing some people are to 'bare all' to strangers:

Well I don't find that girls picture terrifying at all...

She's so up-front and sexually uninhibited I wouldn't know what to say to her ... except ... 'nice body!'   

[Dwighk Sr.]

I would say to her "Are you a farmer? Cause you're quite good at raising c***s."

I don't use facebook often, and I don't update my status at all, mainly because I find the concept confusing, but I do log on a couple of times a week to check messages. I find it a very good way to keep in touch with family and friends you don't see very often.

I agree though, there are often some very strange status updates ect, where I think; actually I could have lived happily for the rest of my life without knowing that!

I must admit I am not a big fan of Mark Zuckerberg, his attitudes in the interviews I have read and the articles I have written comes across me a bit childish with a lot of one-upmanship, which in a position of such responsibility doesn't strike me as a great thing. It is one thing to be a market leader, it is quite another to be arrogant with it.

Having grown up in a seaside holiday town... that picture is dressed much the same as on any beach. So its a bikini... so what. Her smile is sweet-looking. Certainly not terrifying in my opinion. Maybe posting a picture like that might draw the wrong sort of attention to her Facebook page... but otherwise, I see little wrong in it.

All girls like her are plainly not just neurotypical but also popular and highly social.  So if you're not 'terrified' of her then why don't you go ahead and talk to her.  And if so, why are you interested in Aspergers?   

I tell you the truth, a girl like that would make mincemeat out of an autistic male no matter how good-looking he was.  I bet she is a supreme heart-breaker even among neurotypical males.

And also she sets off alarm bells for my fetish and obsession, which is hot white girls doing it with black boys.

If that is the case, good for her... What is wrong with being popular and social! Nothing.

So if you're not 'terrified' of her then why don't you go ahead and talk to her.  And if so, why are you interested in Aspergers?

That progression does not follow logically.

I have not sought to communicate with her, because I have no reason to do so.

What is wrong with being popular and social!

I'm not popular or social so I find popular and social people (especially hawt females) very scary.   

[Aaryk Noctivagus]

I'm not popular or social so I find popular and social people (especially hawt females) very scary.   

I'm sure they find you equally scary

Once again, your conclusion does not follow logically from your premise.

I enjoy FB, most of the time.  I do get the occasional suspicious "friend" request.  Someone who has no mutual friends or looks a bit more like a spambot for porn or other things.   

[Remission]

Hell is other people.

So just STFU and be polite and talk in turn and don't have any high hopes and do without life's simple pleasures without complaining because being quiet and polite is better than letting your anger out.

Live to a ripe old age and enjoy fading away to nothing, achieving nothing, being nothing.

No, People show their bodies on all sorts of social networking sites. Its just the norm of today.

[Remission]

For ME it is just as problematic as going into a nightclub and seeing lots of hot and sweaty drunk/drugged up young people dancing to awful music and looking for people to have random sex with.

The reason it's problematic is because I *ought* to be in my element there, among women of enviable fancy, but instead I find myself with my mouth agape, hunched over at the bar drinking myself into a stupor.   

[Remission]

And not only that, a 'normal' person is expected to 'know' when someone wants a bit of rump and tickle, because nowadays most people cringe and think it's highly uncool and unsexy to talk about sex, whereas they are sending off all manner of unconscious signals acting as tests to see if the potential suitor is adequate for the 'job'.

And so it all boils down to social networking, of which I am not capable, and I prefer to slide into my vices instead - my sole source of pleasure, not out of viciousness of my character, but out of my inability to interact properly with the social world.
